You've been down in the dumps
  it seems like forever.
  Now, what have they done to you?
  Not a single thing's turned out
  the way you imagined.
  It all looks unreachable to you.
    You don't know for the life of you
  what is missing,
  or why it always happens to you.
  And you don't like yourself,
  you feel nobody's listening.
  You don't need another platitude.
    For a moment you forget
  and a smile comes to your face.
  Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
  It's like a string you got tied
  around your finger
  reminding you of
  everything that's wrong.
    I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
  I won't try to second guess you.
  I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
  I'm only here to comfort you.
  I'm only here to comfort you.
    And I'd love to be the reason
  a smile comes to your face,
  even if it doesn't last too long.
  And I'd love to take that string
  you've got tied around your finger
  reminding you of everything that's wrong.
    I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
  I won't try to second guess you.
  I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
  I'm only here to comfort you.
  I'm only here to comfort you.
  I'm only here to comfort you.
